Assignment: Motivation for Performance
Being able to understand the different types of motivational theories helps leaders to build stronger organizations. It is important to focus on motivation for employees in order to provide a supportive workplace that helps propel employees towards achievement of organizational goals.
The following Course Outcomes are assessed in this Assignment:
MT302-3: Analyze theories of motivation to improve employee performance.
GEL-1.02: Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English.
GEL-6.02: Incorporate outside research into an original work appropriately.
You read about motivation and were provided an opportunity to practice with motivation concepts. Now you will apply motivation concepts to a work situation. Read the fictional scenario and then address the checklist items provided below in an expository essay.
Scenario (fictional):
The Cordis Building Works Company modifies and builds portable offices and homes based on customized plans using everything from shipping containers, to modular homes. The company has been in business 35 years and has prided itself on providing a very competitive salary and great benefits as well as retaining most of their original employees since they began. While they originally began the company doing creative designs and one of a kind housing and office buildings, much of the routine work in the factory is now done robotically. They still need a supervisor and technicians to keep the operations running as well as the construction crew who actually deliver and construct the products on site. Now the designs might be modified a bit but are already in their computer and ready to produce with some small modifications when needed. There are two main engineers, one who predominantly works on high-end mansions, and the other who predominantly works on corporate office projects back at the main offices.
The CEO and President (i.e., the husband and wife team who are the founders), are the ones that meet with prospective corporate clients and negotiate the prices and building parameters. While the company used to construct low income housing as well, the clients are now almost exclusively, wealthy private clients or corporate titans. The CEO and the company president are beginning to think about retirement. They want to keep the company running but they cannot understand why the two engineers seem unmotivated when they are receiving such competitive salaries, and great benefits with three weeks vacation a year. In addition, the production line has had more problems of late and the supervisor seems to be coming in late several times a week as have the technicians. They are worried about the future of the company they built.

CASE 13: Summer Employment
Stephanie BossenbergerWeber State University, UtahMary Ann Fisher has been a dental assistant at Dr. Martan’s office for the past 5 years. She functioned as a chairside dental assistant, exposing radiographs as directed, and acting as the infection control officer for the dental office. During this time Mary Ann has been pursuing her education to become a dental hygienist and recently completed her first year of the program. She has been an above average student both academically and clinically. However, she has stated that she does not understand why becoming a dental hygienist takes so long. Several times during clinic, Mary Ann has been cited by faculty for taking short cuts and avoiding evaluations. After she was counseled on this behavior, she has been more careful to follow protocol. Her clinical performance is at an acceptable level for a student completing the first year of instruction.School ended in mid-May and Mary Ann was able to resume her employment full-time in Dr. Martan’s office. Dr. Martan is very proud of Mary Ann and often boasts to patients of her accomplishments and that she will be a hygienist very soon. Mary Ann continued with the work she had done in the office for a year, polishing the patient’s teeth before the dentist’s examination. Now that she has become more adept at instrumentation, she has probed and scaled the teeth of several patients when she has considered it necessary.Susan, the part-time hygienist in the office, knew that Mary Ann was stretching her dental assisting duties and, after careful consideration, decided it was time to have a meeting to talk about what was going on in the office. At the meeting Susan gave out copies of the Dental Practice Act, and everyone understood the reason for the clarification of duties. The dentist thanked Susan and said he thought it was very informative and interesting. For 6 weeks, Mary Ann, the dental assistant, was careful to only provide services that were listed in the Dental Practice Act. Then she was back to scaling and probing teeth again
Customers Behavior

Here is the assignment procedures: Written Assignment: UPS – Strategic Logistics Partner to Business Customers
Read the following about United Parcel Service of America (UPS) before completing this assignment.
Few brands are more familiar these days than UPS. Everyone pictures brown when they hear the name, or even the truck rumbling on their streets. What most dont recognize is that most of UPSs revenues come from business customers, not residential consumers. Its business is much more than shipping packages from business to business, or businesses to homes. UPSs core business is known as logistics; it is a $54 billion company that provides a broad range of global logistics solutions. The company even brags in a tagline that We love logistics. What that means to its business customers, is that UPS becomes a logistics partner, helping them to shape and sharpen their entire logistics strategy and operations, cutting costs and serving customers better. To grow this business, UPS had to persuade its business customers that it absolutely wanted to be their partner and that they wanted to understand the experience each company tries to create for its customers. Without that level of commitment, UPS cannot provide value to its business customers. Business customer buying decisions are made within the framework of a strategic, problem-solving partnership.
The UPS story is perfect for highlighting the unique characteristics of business markets and the differences between consumer buying behavior and business buying behavior. It also demonstrates that marketing to business customers requires a deep understanding of customer needs and customer-driven marketing strategies that create superior customer value. To succeed in its business-to-business markets, UPS must build day in, day out, year in, and year out customer partnerships based on superior products, close collaboration, and trust.
Visit the UPS website (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to explore what UPS offer to business customers. Scroll to the UPS Solutions tab along the top. Start with Explore and then go to Industries to learn about what services UPS provide in various industries. Look for information on each that underscores the basic promise that UPS must deliver on each day: to create partnerships with business customers to help them move their goods more efficiently and reliably. Working in business markets is much more complex than in consumer markets, and closing a single sale may take years of advance work.
DIRECTIONS
Answer the questions below on UPSs efforts to build relationships with B-to-B customers to handle their logistics and the impact on customer relationships. Your paper is expected to show research into the issues with clearly documented links to in-class and outside readings. The paper must be consistently formatted in APA style, APA in-text citations, and references included. As a general guideline, the body of your paper, meaning your answers to the three questions below, is to be 3 to 4 pages (front page, possible table of contents, references, and possible appendix excluding). You might like to include separate chapter titles for each question. Please ensure that you cover all of the elements of the assignment and demonstrate your understanding of the given topic. Don’t forget to synthesize, analyze, and evaluate related ideas and issues. Short quotations from the UPS website can be used when appropriately indicated in the text and in-text cited according to the APA style, but you are not to submit a paper with the majority of its content copy-pasted from the UPS website.

Discussion: Patient Preferences and Decision Making
Changes in culture and technology have resulted in patient populations that are often well informed and educated, even before consulting or considering a healthcare need delivered by a health professional. Fueled by this, health professionals are increasingly involving patients in treatment decisions. However, this often comes with challenges, as illnesses and treatments can become complex.
What has your experience been with patient involvement in treatment or healthcare decisions?
In this Discussion, you will share your experiences and consider the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making.
To Prepare:
- Review the Resources and reflect on a time when you experienced a patient being brought into (or not being brought into) a decision regarding their treatment plan.
- Review the Ottawa Hospital Research Institutes Decision Aids Inventory at https://decisionaid.ohri.ca/.
- Choose For Specific Conditions, then Browse an alphabetical listing of decision aids by health topic.
NOTE: To ensure compliance with HIPAA rules, please DO NOT use the patients real name or any information that might identify the patient or organization/practice.
By Day 3 of Week 8
Post a brief description of the situation you experienced and explain how incorporating or not incorporating patient preferences and values impacted the outcome of their treatment plan. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how including patient preferences and values might impact the trajectory of the situation and how these were reflected in the treatment plan. Finally, explain the value of the patient decision aid you selected and how it might contribute to effective decision making, both in general and in the experience you described. Describe how you might use this decision aid inventory in your professional practice or personal life.
By Day 6 of Week 8
Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days and offer alternative views on the impact of patient preferences on treatment plans or outcomes, or the potential impact of patient decision aids on situations like the one shared.
